AMERICAN OFFICIALS IN
CHINA PESSIMISTIC
Washington, May 21/??fissimistfc
reports were received today* from
American- officials in China as to the
probability of successful negotiations
between the Chinese government and
bandit leaders for the release of
Americans and other foreign hostages
held bv the brigands as a rejsult
concern was felt in goveixment- circles
but the state department \va?
not swayed from the conviction that
the only practicable means of dealing
with the situation was through
the Peking diplomatic council.
So far as could be learned, no move
was afoot to intervene from Washington
in Minister Schurman's efforts,
in association with his diplomatic
colleagues, to bring about the
release of Ihe captives unharmed. It
was made plain that the Washington
government was relying on its representatives
on the scene to consider
every angle of the admittedly delicate
situation and find the most hopeful
course to pursue. The position is taken
here that any other course misrht
I be fraught with extreme danger to
Jhe captives.
